"Ill-mannered, utterly ill-mannered." Liu Xiaoqin was fuming.

As expected from someone who has a mother that gave birth but didn't teach.

But she could only curse in her heart because even though Wang Shuxia, who was with her, had a good temper, she was quite protective.

"Liu Xiaoqin, then tell me how Lingling my family is ill-mannered?" Even if this was the case, the protective Wang Shuxia was not happy!

If it weren't for Gu Lingling holding her back just now, she would have already lashed out at Liu Xiaoqin.

What kind of attitude is this, yelling at Gu Lingling for no reason?

Besides, their family's meat, if they want to ask whoever for help, who cares?

She knew who spread those rumors, didn't she?

Just because of Jiang Jiuming's face, she didn't want to bother with it, but now was she going too far?

"Blocking the door and not letting people in is what's considered well-mannered?" Wang Shuxia said angrily, "I'll report those rumors to the department for investigation, but just because our family asked someone to help with curing meat, why is there so much fuss? Is someone trying to disrupt the harmony of the unit?"

"Sister Wang, I... I didn't say anything." Liu Xiaoqin panicked.

It was her who spread those rumors, and come March next year, her Old Jiang was about to get a promotion, and if this caused an issue, wouldn't Jiang Jiuming divorce her?

"Didn't say anything? If someone said Jiang Hong from your family was ill-mannered, I bet you would fight to the death, right?" Wang Shuxia retorted sarcastically.

Isn't it just bullying Gu Lingling because she doesn't have a mom?

But to say such things about Gu Lingling in front of her, did they think Wang Shuxia was easy to bully?

"Let's go." Wang Shuxia didn't pay any more attention to Liu Xiaoqin and pulled Gu Lingling's hand, leading her inside the building.

Yang Yunhai and Jiang Jiuming were standing at the landing between the second and first floors.

Jiang Jiuming looked awkward, while Yang Yunhai's face remained as cold as usual, making it impossible to tell if he was angry.

"Sis... Sister-in-law." Jiang Jiuming stammered.

Wang Shuxia couldn't even be bothered to look at him, "I have something to discuss with you, let's talk in your room."

Her expression was particularly sour.

"Sister-in-law, I... I'm sorry, the mouth in our family doesn't have a filter." Jiang Jiuming said awkwardly, then addressed the flustered Liu Xiaoqin at the door, "Hurry up and apologize to sister-in-law and this young comrade."

This Jiang Jiuming was at least smarter than Liu Xiaoqin.

"Sister-in-law, I... I'm sorry." Liu Xiaoqin hesitated for a moment, and after Jiang Jiuming glared at her, she bit her lip and said to Wang Shuxia.

"The person you need to apologize to isn't me," Wang Shuxia said mildly.

"I... I'm sorry." Liu Xiaoqin said with her head lowered.

"Can we leave now?" Gu Lingling looked up at Jiang Jiuming standing at the stair landing.

This couple has a common flaw, they love blocking the way.

As for Liu Xiaoqin's apology, without a name, who knows to whom it's directed?

Besides, an insincere apology, especially one that harbors resentment, she didn't care for it.

"Hmm, let's go." Yang Yunhai sidestepped to let the passage clear, "Let's talk at my place."

He didn't spare Jiang Jiuming a glance either.

But Jiang Jiuming had been transferred to Yang Yunhai's unit as an instructor for less than a year, and all he knew was that this young and capable Captain usually wore a cold expression, making it nearly impossible to read his real emotions.

So he couldn't confirm Yang Yunhai's attitude right now.

But he was certain that the commissar's sister-in-law was mad.

It was all because of this troublesome woman, who spent all day spreading nonsense outside, offending people without realizing it.

"I'll deal with you later when we get home." Jiang Jiuming whispered as he walked past Liu Xiaoqin.

Liu Xiaoqin shivered.
